    4chan is a wholly different type of site. It's an image board, not about link sharing. Use of screen names is discouraged.
    Also why would you go to a site labelled the asshole of the Internet if you're looking for actual discussion and conversation. If you want porn or want nazi-adjacent discussion or great wallpapers, sure, go there.

    Look up the piece by pbs and by John Oliver. They also do a cocoa bean tracking system so they know where the beans are coming from. This is importa t to know that the beans are coming from the good farms and not from the bad ones. All that being said, they say they can't say slavery free due to how bad it is in that area. They can't guarantee that.
    I think for me it's as simple as - do I go with the brand that seems to be doing something about it? Or go with the brand that misses it's own targets and is satisfied with the horrible status quo

    You can get jelly that's a lot less sugar than the cheap stuff. As for kids - I'm a firm believer in letting kids butch and moan for a few days and after that they get used to it and eat it. Just take the time investment to save yourself some hassle later on. Or tell them to make their own.

    • Muffins/Swiss rolls - depends on how much it is but I get it being a quick comfort food. However, check if there's a bakery of some kind (including
      Chinese / Latino bakeries) near you. It's nearly as cheap or cheaper and much fresher. Good bread there too.
    • Pasta sauce: my wife actually just makes a Alfredo sauce from scratch and it seems to be just a bit more complicated than Mac and cheese sauce. Flour, milk, and cheese. Probably a lot more cost effective.
    • Instead of a red tomato sauce I would buy diced tomatoes ( or those fire riasted ones) and dump them over noodles. It tastes better than the bottled red sauce.
    • Mac and cheese: see above - but also, if you're going to get it, get the box. The single serve things are worse than the generic box Mac.
      -froze spinach is great. Try throwing that in whatever you're cooking. Never goes bad. Already bite sized.

    Put your entire savings in. Then open up a few credit cards and take out as much cash of them as possible. Put it all into one stock. Then be confident that you're smarter than everyone else and will sell at just the right moment, and much smarter than the people shorting the stock.

    Glad to hear it boss man.
    However, you've got to remember that you're the boss man. You have to delegate.
    You shouldn't be clearing spam. You have people for that.
    I spend time doing a bunch of reports to you on pill pushers and spam links. I could just as easily be spending my time banning those usernames, resulting in faster responses and better experience for everyone.
    I think most people on the site would say your time is spent on doing admin stuff. Not mod spam stuff.

    On the first option: I wasn't suggesting all of that. The Ethernet seems to be able to run video signal and USB signal - maybe on one cable and maybe on 2 cables. So you're just talking about a cat6 to HDMI/USB adapters and a monitor and a USB hub/ keyboard/ mouse in the shop, and a regular PC and adapters in the office. 500 feet of burial rated cat6 is around $160.

    I was just offering another potential solution - no need to get snarky. If you need the power on your device, or you don't want to fuck around with transferring files back and forth, that seems like a better option. But like I said initially - I haven't done this - I just know that others have and it might be worth checking out.

    Taking the opportunity to tell about https://www.donorschoose.org/
    Local teachers asking for help buying supplies for classrooms. With prices and item lists so you know where it's going.

    Also it's a great way to check out disparities in education. The low income school is asking for erasers and pencils and carpets for kids to sit on, and the rich school is asking to buy iPads to replace the old iPads.

    Another option is to just have a big ass cable for HDMI and USB and have the actual computer hosted somewhere less dusty, like a office. Linus tech tips did a few videos talking about sending the computer signals from a gaming room out to a server rack and back. That could be the cheapest and most flexible option.

Are any images transmitted to any other servers before arriving on my phone? These may be straightforward - but I was burned on the Eufy scandal and don't want a similar situation here.

    Selfhosting Hello_there 1 year ago 100%
    Selfhosted camera system / photo storage?

    Apologies if I'm off base here, but I have two issues I'm trying to solve and unsure where I should start - whether these are two separate issues to solve or if I should get something that can do both. Needs: 1. backup and safely store photos and videos from Android phones (in a raid array so it's redundant storage). 2. monitor a set of 2 exterior cameras and a) throw a notification onto a phone when there's movement b) without giving footage or thumbnails to an external server. About me: I'm tech literate enough to Google things and copy/paste or troubleshoot based on what worked for others, but I'd like to avoid having to learn to code or run command lines. I have young kids and don't really want to have to spend a whole lot of time on this to get it to work or walk my spouse through how to use it. Options considered: 1a) a Synology product seems like the lowest barrier to entry, but the risk seems to be less ability to fix and potentially more risk of unrecoverable data (GN did videos about this). 1b) multiple hard drives on a PC - works but would suck if my PC fries. 1c) multiple external drives - seems wonky and easier for something to fail. 1d) all of the above and hope it somehow works. 2a) Eufy looked like a good option (local storage and push notifications), until the recent scandal. I am not interested in having pics of little girls on a server somewhere, even if it is only outside pictures. 2b) a wired camera connection - however I'm not going to know if anyone is doing something sketchy unless I know to review the footage. 2c) Synology has an option - however there are the issues mentioned above and I'd also need to drop $400 for the cameras, $200 for the station, and a couple hundred for the drives. 2d) make my own mini comp - however more likely for wonky stuff and higher power draw over the long term. Any suggestions on where to go from here?
